Speculation is that he is more central. Replacement for Lallana perhaps?

Cooking with Brendan. He will be in his element.

It’s interesting because in Australia where I am they are playing Aussie Rules, Rugby League A-League, while Horse Racing is being run. Think we are the only place in the world where live sport is taking placeat this time. There is no one in attendance bar match officials and some media. Just like the PL, the AFL have said that there is no end-date if there is an outbreak and the season could stretch out to December. There is a big debate about whether it should be going on at all and I understand the argument that people need some joy in their lives at this time, it just doesn’t feel right. We are nowhere near the Europe/China levels at this time, but on the flip side the peak is due to hit here around May just in time for the Winter season. Some parts of the country esp the northern climate haven’t been hit as hard as there is a thought the virus doesn’t thrive in warmer weather. So fingers crossed that is the case and we can lift the much deserved Number 19 sometime in June or July.

This story has more twists and turns than last season’s title race but this is a slightly worrying development, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8115083/Top-clubs-anticipate-seismic-financial-hit-Premier-League-consider-abandoning-season.html

I was nine. Living in Australia in the pre-internet and satellite era it was really hard to get a real connection for the game. Basically we were fed scraps like the BBC World Service, the odd newspaper clipping and a weekly highlight show and that’s it. Italia 90 was the moment I developed a real interest for the game and the 92 Cup Final was the first time I watched the Reds live on TV. and by the mid 90s I was a fully fledged Red. Just can’t wait for the moment to see Hendo raise the trophy, it will definitely be a emotional moment,

Yeah seems like a false report. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/latest-virgil-van-dijks-new-16883321.amp?__twitter_impression=true

Seems a speculative report with no firm quotes attached but promising nonetheless. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/virgil-van-dijk-agrees-new-19847000

Robbie played in the A-League for North Queensland and Perth Glory so he knows the landscape pretty well and will have that as a plus over someone like Markus who came here fresh and whose team has struggled this season. Not sure if Robbie sees it as a stepping stone to future management appointments or if he is just coming for lifestyle reason. One thing I will say is that it is what the league needed as it has diminished in interest.

Second good piece in a couple of days about one of our loanees. Big day for Herbie and hope he can shine on the big stage against Palace. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/meet-herbie-kane-liverpool-loanee-14007934

Good piece about Harry and what his future goals are. Jurgen in constant contact too which is a good sign. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/harry-wilsons-latest-declaration-delight-14004729

The club are saying it is a permanent deal, different to the wording in the Fulham press release. Virtually saying piss off and never come back. https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/336283-lazar-markovic-completes-permanent-move-to-fulham

Ovie is heading to Reading on loan until the end of the season. Hope he is more settled there than he was in Glasgow. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11601086/liverpool-midfielder-ovie-ejaria-joins-reading-on-loan-until-end-of-season

Great piece. Herbie is getting some fantastic press of late, along the lines of Harry Wilson. Doncaster did a great job getting him on loan for the season as I dare say Stevie would have wanted him at Rangers too.

Definitely a win/win for both parties. Doncaster are likely to be in and around the promotion places which will give Herbie some vital exposure in pressure games. Speak to a few Rovers fans quite regularly and he is hero worshipped there.

Not good news. Hopefully Stevie can change Ovie's mindset as he has shown some promise in the first half of the season. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/rangers/ovie-ejaria-rangers-boss-steven-gerrard-voices-concern-over-quiet-kid-1-4844499
